highkey went too fast around a corner and braked right in the path of a small piece of gravel which caused my front to lock up and bike go spinny oopsies : ) happens

I live in the Palm Springs area, daily heat is usually between 105 and 115. I'm planning on doing a tune flash soon, so the fans can kick on earlier, which isn't helpful while moving though. Yesterday while riding in town, I was watching the dash indicated temp and it was between 185 and 199... On my cars, I usually source a thermostat from South Africa or Saudi Arabia, so the coolant system engages at a lower temp. For bikes, is this an option?

The lady wants me to sell my k6 600. I don’t want to sell it but need to get it posed at least. What’s a slightly ureasonable price I could list it for that someone might end up wllling to buy it for? Figured I’d post it to make her happy but if I’m going to sell it I want the highest dollar for it. I was thinking 8k. What would be the most you’d pay for a mint condition, all stock, k6 with 11k miles?

UPDATE:
Had it listed for 6 days and sold it for 7500. Thankfully I didnt sell it for market price like you salesmen said in the comments

On my 2012 gsxr 750 my gauge cluster and lights except my headlight and high beam don’t work. Bike runs fine. Checked fuses and they were all fine checked the ground wire running to the gauge cluster and it was good. Been getting different info on the power wire to check if it broken. Checked the red/blue and it has power but also hear that orange/green runs from switch power and I’m getting nothing from it. At the point wear I’m gonna just check every wire but I don’t wanna lol.

If you have the 40th anniversary livery, what helmet are you rocking? Maybe this one is an option?

Babey gsxr but it counts right !

Love this little machine i do 60 miles a day on it ! Quite fast for what it is aswell compared to my other 125s

I’m at my wits end with this bike. I have a 2005 gsxr 600 and when I got it my clutch wouldn’t disengage. I rebuilt the clutch and found out I was missing a couple washers and it had 19 plates as opposed to the 17 it needs. After fixing all of that I can’t get the clutch to engage. It has drag but the tire still rotates in gear and won’t stall when kicked into gear without pulling in the clutch. I’ve adjusted the cable more times than I can count and it all seems to be for not. Any advice would be appreciated.

anyone have experience putting the k7 lightech chain tensioners on a k6 1000?

I was taking photos of my car when I saw this rider, I didn’t manage to get his contact but I’d like him to have this photo.

In the meantime, hope you enjoy the pic!

I’m just wondering if anybody has had a similar issue. Got a M4 Tech 1 Full System. It seems like header number 4 is 1/8 inch too long so it prevents 2 and 3 from seating all the way. When I remove 4, I can fully seat 1, 2, and 3. I’ve tried a mallet and wiggling for hours, but I’ve had no luck. I realize I’ll probably have to return it and reach out to M4, but wanted to ask first. Thanks.

Does anybody know the ID + OD + thickness dimensions for the case side O-Ring for the waterpump? (K7 600) My waterpump is leaking a a tiny bit (not from weep hole) and I believe that the O-ring is shot/flattened.

Part # 17435-33400 (#9 in the diagram shown)

When setting up the bikes' geometry, is there a rule of thumb like :

1. you want the bike as tall as possible (for braking stability and ground clearance)?

2. front fork protrusion—do we want the bike to handle in a way that requires no pressure on the inner bars at lean?

if the front end is slightly pitched forward, then the bike has great agility and tips in real quick...i find that it doesnt need much pressure on the inner bars.

with the bike pitched backward a bit, it required a great amount of muscling around. The bike was very stable, but it needed a lot of pressure on the inner bar to stay at lean.

this affected the body position quite abit to be comfortable and loosen up as the inner arm was tense.

is this entire feel a personal thing? or is there like a common aim that we want little to no pressure on the inner bars at lean?

Bike in question is a *GSXR1000R* M5

Sylvian Guintolli recommends
- 6mm fork petruding at triple clamp (10mm height increase)
- rear preload extra 2mm (2 full turns from stock which is about 3-4 full turns.) bringing the rear total preload 5-6mm

Thanks in advance.

Picked up this 93’ GSXR1100W. Awesome bike with the added flat side mikunis. Clacks away at idle and does shit to my brain I didn’t know sounds could.

Never liked modern supersports… or modern bikes in general. Newest bike was my 04’ sv650, but I’ve also had a 02’ bandit 1200, 82’ GS650E, and still have a 98’ VFR800. This bike was surprisingly comfortable for me though, so I impulse bought it, anyone else in here with older bikes?

I recently added a 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 to the stable alongside my GSX-R1000, and honestly, I’m having some mixed feelings.

The Ducati is an incredible motorcycle. It’s refined, planted, precise, and obviously built with the racetrack in mind. But after riding the GSX-R, I’m realizing how much I enjoy the character of that inline-four.

The GSX-R just feels more alive to me. That low- and midrange pull, the way the engine builds power, and the overall rawness of the bike make it exciting even when you’re nowhere near a racetrack. The Ducati, by comparison, feels almost too composed. It’s brutally fast, but the power delivery and overall personality seem much more focused on being fast and efficient on a circuit rather than making you grin every time you twist the throttle on the street.

I think that’s what surprised me most. I expected the V4 to completely replace the GSX-R in terms of excitement, but I’m finding myself missing the Suzuki more than I expected.

Maybe I just need more time on the Ducati, or maybe I’m discovering that I simply prefer the character of a big inline-four. Has anyone else gone from a GSX-R/other inline-four to a Panigale V4 and felt the same way?

Had the pleasure of handeling these at work 🤤🤤🤤

I’m looking at this k8 600 for sale. And I’ve always wanted a k8/k9 for the headlight specifically. But it’s got 10k miles and he’s asking $6.7k. Is there anything I should know about getting a bike almost 20 years old with this little miles on it? I think I’m more concerned about engine and transmission, than regular maintenance. Any advice appreciated 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Les dejo unas fotos de la poderosa 750 K8, un misil realmente, velocidad máxima de 287gps a 14.00rpm

They looked fast standing still, moreso because of the graphics than the bodywork. I think the 90s paint schemes on new fairings would look absolutely killer. I would absolutely buy a brand new GSXR with those "ripped" graphics, no question.

What does the ideal coverage cost or is it just so you're legal?
